Introducing the New Strongarm Homepage

Over the past year, Strongarm has added a number of new features with the goal of helping our customers triage their alerts, and to gain understanding and control of their networks. We’ve added:

A “Discussion” feature to enable Strongarm users to work alongside our support team in resolving alerts. This includes information about how we are classifying the alerts and gives plain english explanations on what actions Strongarm’s analysts suggest you take.

With all these new features added to the product, it was time to restructure the new Strongarm homepage to make it easier to get a summary of what is happening on your networks, as well as provide links to dive into the details. Today, we are introducing the new dashboard homepage for business users. Let’s go through the changes!

The New Strongarm Homepage

Here’s a look at the current dashboard homepage:

Now, the new Strongarm homepage:

The major panels in the new dashboard homepage can be broken down into four parts:

A graph showing DNS traffic over the past day.

The most requested domains in the past hour.

The most active networks in the past day.

A breakdown of alerts from the last month by classification.

Furthermore, we’ve made it easier to find out when your networks become unprotected. If there are unprotected networks on your account, there will be a “View Unprotected Networks” button in the networks panel. When clicked, it lists the unprotected networks and when they last made a DNS request:

What all of this adds up to is an easier way to view what is going on across your networks, from traffic to unprotected sites. Our goal at Strongarm is to make life easy for your IT and/or security teams, and this updated dashboard should do just that.
